October Monthly Meeting
Dr. Fedir Razumenko on A History of Cancer Clinical Trials in Canada:
How carcinoma of the prostate jostled for trialists’ attention.
Wednesday, November 19th, 2025 | 7:30PM
Location: CKE Community Centre, 1015 73 Ave SW, Calgary, AB
Dr. Fedir Razumenko, a historian of medicine and science, has been a researcher at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, since April 2019. That year his PhD thesis “Clinical Trials, Cancer, and the Emergence of Human Research Ethics in Canada, 1921-1980” received a University of Saskatchewan Doctoral Dissertation Award in the Fine Arts & Humanities.
One of his postdoctoral projects – “Cancer Clinical Trials in Canada and the Human Dignity Framework” explored the evolution of clinical investigations from a biomedical research paradigm to a patient-centered comprehensive investigation model.
